Snowboard "double corks" in pipe

85% of these double corks from last night looked like they were completely inverted, making them double flips. Is it just like this because of the pipe?

yea they all looked pretty sick. i agree with how they were all very inverted though, but i feel like the majority of americans understand the "corkscrew" rotation leaving it easier for them to comprehend..

does anyone else find it a bit off that shaun white learned his into a foam pit in the pipe rather than all the other riders that didnt have a personal pipe with a foam pit in it to learn them

He could do doubles before that half pipe was built. And like others said he wasn't the ONLY one to learn with some help. Anyway, he is kindof a douche but i w/e. People should stop worrying abut what he does so much. If you think hes a tool, great. We dont need to discuss it every time he does something that everybody knows he would do.

I got this confused with the thread about his nickname a few threads down, my bad. my point still stands though. and as far as the dubs, i know what you are saying. Although a lot of times when a snowboarder just does a regular spin it looks corked. So if a regular spin looks corked, they have to go somewhere to warrant calling it corked.

Doesn't inverted in the pipe = cork

Cork in the pipe = inverted. Since an on axis spin in a pipe is already sideways.
All times are Eastern (-5)
